"w.t.p." :-P

"there's a peacock in the room"

man. this week. could be the best one of the summer. well i've already decided that this is the best summer of my life. and i dont know if there will ever be a better one. ever. this summer. it started out with us having a bonfire almost every week with just friends. well actually we figured out yesterday taht the first bonfire was isabel, kellen, me and josh. the day before mother's day. so we had a bonfire almost everyweek after that for about a month i guess. that day was amazing . we just hung out and talked about everything. we were up till like three in the mornign talking and watchign movies and stuff.
i just love hanging out with them. i think the best thing for you is to hang out with family and the people you love. well just with those four people its the best thing. they're funny and they make me laugh. they are the best. i cant really describe how much i love them all cause there are no words for it. when i hang out with them there is no doubt of anything in my mind.
ok. so this week. monday minte, michael, josh and i all hung out. we went to the beach and decided to hang out there. then we went to josh's apartment and watched bounty hunter...then dropped michael off.
tuesday. josh, isabel, kellen, minte and i went to go see harry potter. it was really good. minte and isabel were bouncing off the walls hyper. we blasted the music on the way there and on the way back at like 3 in the morning. we had tonsof pixy sticks and mountain dew.. yeah that stuff keep s you awake. the movie was really good by the way.
wednesday. i dont think there couldve been a better day. i got about 4 and a half hours of sleep because of the harry potter movie and then i had to get up early yesterday. then isabel decided to wake up josh at 930 in the mornign. he was not too happy about that. then at like 1030 we headed over to michaels. we stopped at pdq and got gas and i looked for pixy sticks and there WERE NO PIXY STICKS AT THE PDQ!!! what the heck. so i got fun dip. josh got new sunglasses. they were white. haha. then we drove to michaels and were talking to kristen and kelly. and then josh was like i know where we're going. so we went and were rocking out in josh's car on the highway and isabel, michael and i had no idea where we were going but we were dancing in the car. and this semi driver saw us and honked his horn and we were like YEAH! HI!! . then we saw him for passing us and we kept waving at each other. it was soo funn...
so we ended up going to the beach and the rocks and stuff. the day was beautiful. we hung out on the rocks and then went to this beach. well i dont know if it was a beach cause...yeah. so we skipped stones. or at least attempted too. i really suck at skipping. my high was like three. josh's was 8..i think. we walked to the beach beach and saw lindsey kobin. and talked to her. then we were starving so we were driving around. and stopped to take a group picture at a park. the lady that was taking them was soo funny. she was like ok. happy picture. and now a serious one. do something funny now guys. and she was using different angles...it was great. josh asked us if we had heard this song and we were like um. yeah its in how to lose a guy in 10 days. then we drove to mcdonalds. yeah. um. we walked in and isabel remembered something kirin told her..so she was like" TEIA! kiki was like 'does teia like josh?' and she was like 'NOOOO! they're really good friends.' 'oh..well it's not like they're blood-related or anything...' " i was like ewwwww. nothing against josh. but that's weird. yeah. im just gonna leave it at that. so i told them i only had 2 dollars in the car and josh was like 'ill pay for you ...it's like a date..' 'weird....um.no'... so yeah. we had mcdonalds then we drove to josh's apartment. watched part of bounty hunter again.and then hung out. almost fell asleep then drove to michaels. josh played the piano..he was making up music for any action that michael or anyone else did. so this kid fell of his bike and we saw it and all of a sudden theres like BOM BOM BOMMMM. ...dramatic music and he gets up and its all lifting and ...it was hilarious. and we ate dinner. yum it was good. then josh and i drove back to mom's house. on the way there we were talking. well actually mr. chatterbox was. :-D and he talked about a ton of stuff. it was really cool. we made brownies and watched camp.it was a good movie. in the dvd player though was how to lose a guy in 10 days. the movie josh was talking abou tearlier. it was really weird. so then we just hung out and i dotn think any day couldve been better. it was great.

so here's the song of the day...well yesterdday. cause half of the stuff actually happend.
table for two.
Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes,
Talkin' 'bout soccer
And how every man's just the same
We made speculation
On the who's and the when's of our futures
And how everyone's lonely
But still we just couldn't complain

And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance
And now I'm just wasting my time
By looking around
But you know I know better
I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
Cause if the birds and the flowers survive
Then I'll make it okay
I'm given a chance and a rock
see which one breaks a window
See which one keeps me up all night and into the day

Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forget what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call

Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule
from the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me
before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
Just to get me to sleep.

so all the stuff in bold basically happened yesterday. i ♥ that song. ok guys. hope you have a great day.

♥ always,
teia

yeah. so............um. tomorrow well technically today. is the fourth of july. i just love the fourth. its soo much fun. first of all you wake up. early. well not really but in the summer it's early and you get dressed for a parade. then you see everyone and get candy. and its just fun. then you walk to the park and listen to music and partay. all day long. then you wait till night annd you watch fireworks. how great is that. i mean. all for celebrating the freedom of our country. ok that was my smart comment thing of the night....well ok. maybe not. the whole title of my blog is really what sums it up though.

anyways. im really missing practices right now. well in a way. i miss the people. they were all really great. and nice..but the being tired from practice. not really missing that.
so something exciting to tell you. oh yes. sometimes i talk in my sleep. i dont know why tahts so important but i guess i do. and minte and isabel make fun of me because of it. so what. jsut becuase i have too much to say during the day that i have to say it during the night does not mean you should make fun of me. :-P haha. oh well.
that was a secret of mine. great secret right?
wahts another one. hmmmmmmm. oh. i really dont know what i want to do for the rest of my life. although right now i really really want to make a cd cover of some sort. like if isabel or josh made a cd then i would do the cover for it. you know how awesome that would be? so if you're looking into recording a cd and need a totally awesome cover let me knwo cause that would be really cool if i could fool around with it........
the other day. yesterday i guess i made a summer goals list. yeah. one of the goals is to take 1000 pictures over the whole summer. i guess taht wont be too hard considering i probably already have about 500 maybe. yeah. actually easily i have 500. but thats one of the goals. another one is to do soemthing really spontaneous. no not really i just made taht up cause i cant think of anything else that i had on the list. so yeah. im gonna go to sleep and listen to some great music from "Josh's Mixerooni" ....and probably read and fall asleep while listening to the great music. ttyl

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ teia
^that is sooooooooooo much funnnnnn. :-) haha

man. i really suck at the whole blog thing. i really thought i posted a ton more in the month of june and then i look back and it wasnt that many. there were only like two posts. stupid me. :-) anywho.........so yeah. i guess june couldnt have gotten any crazier for me. or my family. the second week of june i did FIL's vbs. it was a blast. all the kids were sooo cute. and really sweet. although i got the kids that were all over the place. good thing i knew what i was doing. otherwise some little 8th grader wouldve gotten stuck with them and probably wouldve started to cry. just kidding. they werent that bad. anyways. so....i had vbs and then nights practice for the Best of Broadway. on tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays. it was soooo much fun. first of all the group was just a really good group. everyone got along really well together and they were all great. secondly, my dad and sap were in it. do i really have to go into detail? i will just a littl ebit. ok. so the first day. sap walks in and josh yells out.."ROGER! WE"RE NOT ALONE!!!!!!!" ....the producers. yeah. and sap just starts laughing the whole rest of the time sap and my dad were talking non stop in the back row thing. chit chat. :-) it was funny. then they were singing in weird voices. so those were my nights. lets see. third week i didnt do much except practice. and i found out that i got a job at out and out in downtown cedarburg. YAY. it was really cool. and i was excited. and really nervous. so i started on isabels birthday. which in a way sucked but then afterwards i still got to hang out with everyone. and EVERYONE was at her party. omi and grandpadu, deirdre, her kids, josh, noah, heidi, naomi, all of us. and i think thats aobut it. anyways. josh, isabel, kellen, brennick , minte, heidi, noah and naomi decided they were going to walk to starbucks and then walk over to my work and say hi to me. :-) well. that was interesting. i got off work like 5 minutes before and josh was walking around outside looking in all the windows. and then he walked up and said hi is teia there? and they were like um no...she just got off of work. so then he left. and the next day they were like hey teia this guy. i think it was your cousin or your brother stopped by looking for you. i just kinda laughed cause .....i was not going through the story of how josh is not my cousin or my brother but my uncle. it takes too long. :-) haha. anyways. so yeah. then strawberry fest. i didnt even walk downtown at all. it was quite upsetting ..i love walking down there jsut to look around. o h well.on the sunday allof us in BEST OF BROADWAY . went and performed some stuff in the bandshell. it was really fun. i waskinda nervous but i had a blast. lets see. on monday the 25th. isabel went to michaels and then he came to practice. he helped some people with whatever. otherwise i think he was pretty bored. then isabel, me and josh took him home. but first we decided we were going to stop for ice cream. and nothing was open so we ran into picknsave. and got a half gallon of ice cream and spoons. then we drove to joshs place so he could burn a cd. then we drove to michaels .and were listening to the music REALLY loud and singing obnoxiously loud. and were eating ice cream all at the same time. :) it was a blast. i dont think ive had so much fun. then the ice cream started to melt. and the box started to break. yeah. that was interesting. so we stopped and shoveled the ice cream in. and believe it or not : isabel, josh ,michael and i all finished that ice cream. yes you do. haha. it was great. thne we took some random pictures and finshed driving to michaels ...and we got stuck behind two cars that were going to race. yeah. that was different. but cool. and frightening. cause you're like dont get in a crash yet at the same time you're like YAY. this looks fun watching you do this. so yeah. then we dropped michael off and drove home. except the drive hoem was pretty funny. josh was running out of gas. and we were on a back road. so yeha. we had some good conversations about how we just passed about three tri-pars and one bp....but we still hadnt stopped. oh well . we made it to the tri-par. and it was like pitch black. it was great. anyways. then we practiced crazy. for the next few days for our performance. i didnt see mom for a week cause we got back home and she was sleeping. but during the practices i had a blast. and EVERYONE did such a great job. all the soloists were amazing . and those who didnt solo were great too. mary and josh did stuff from the phantom of the opera. OH MY GOSH! theywere amazing. and i didnt realize that she's as old as isabel. her voice is great. and what else. um.......CHRISTINE. ah. she was wonderful tooo. she doesnt think so but she was and i told her that like a billion times. hm. what else. oh yeah that was the same week that i had vbs at st. martini's in south milwaukee. that was interesting. it was a blast acutally . and i had tons of fun but by the end of the week i was pooped. throughout the rest of the week we had tons of fun and more adventures through picknsave and having a blast with josh. and isabel did a great solo. i dont think there couldve been a better one for her. she was great. plus it was sooo her. popular. yeah.. and she was leaping aroudn teh stage in high heels and a little dress and spinning i was laughing soo hard.
anyways. im glad that josh is home. its really fun. it used to be weird hanging out with him and stuff i guess probably cause he was a few years older but now its just awesome. cause we talk all the time and just get along great.

ok. well i really gotta go and get some actual stuff done.
:-) haha. ill probably eat and read. YUMMMMMMMMMM. and wake mint and isabel up........

have fun reading this incredibly long entry.

love you all
